PFX Reversion is nearly here. Free, like everything else I build.
This one wasn’t planned. I was mixing a few ideas together on a gold chart — a Keltner channel, a touch rule, a small capped grid — mostly to see what would happen. What happened was an EA that quietly did its job all day while I was busy breaking everything else. I kept watching it. It kept working. So I stopped calling it an experiment.
What it is
It waits for price to touch a channel line — the bottom band, the top band, or the middle line from either side — and opens a basket in the direction of the bounce. If price keeps going the wrong way it adds a few more orders, spaced out and capped hard, then closes the whole basket as one trade at a single take-profit from the average entry. One basket at a time. One new order per candle. That’s it.
What it’s been through
Day one, it was called PFX LB and got ten builds before midnight. Day two, I ripped the entry out and rebuilt it as a directional three-line touch — a separate V2, because I didn’t trust it yet. Then an audit went through every line: the recovery code that refuses to guess, the lock that stops two copies trading the same account, the limits that cap lots per order, per symbol and per side. Then the panel got rebuilt three times until it told me what the EA was about to do, not just what it had done. Then the chart markup got redrawn four times in one day until a busy session was readable at a glance.
Seventeen builds in four days. 92 native checks. 244 package checks. The same two-day run on two different builds producing deal-for-deal identical trades, because display changes must never touch the trading. It’s been on five terminals this week — demo, live broker, and a funded challenge — watching real spreads, real slippage and real news.
Read this before you get excited
It is a grid EA. If price goes one way and keeps going, it adds orders and each can be bigger than the last. I’ve put hard limits on everything — max orders a side, max lots per order, max lots on the symbol, an equity stop that locks the account until you reset it — but limits only work if you set them. Hedging accounts only. Demo first. Always.
Coming next
Screenshots, the Market upload, and a tested settings guide. The manual already covers all 62 settings in plain English.
